It certainly looks better than TinyMCE or CKEditor.
… it does - no doubt, but a first quick test in WordPress (via a PlugIn) let me immediately switch back to the tiny standard.
It might even work with WebYep.
I’m pretty sure not (or not that easy as it could look like). It needs to be supported by WebYep System (editor plugin) and after the development/support stopped - it would be a long journey (far beyond my scope).

I thought that might be the case. Oh well.

The Redactor Wordpress plugin I found (and installed) is not the same
product or developer. Did you find the Redactor editor Wordpress plugin
I mentioned?
“Replaces the default WordPress editor (TinyMCE) with the much more elgant Redactor (redactorjs.com). Redactor is free to use on non-profit sites, but you do have to purchase a license if you use it for commercial projects.”
Very nice indeed, lots of really nice smooth features. But disappointingly it falls down yet again in one major area for me - image management.
Image positioning is ropey to say the least, yes the sizing is nice but if I’ve stipulated a guide size to use for a client (for consistency) it falls down. Drag and drop; I don’t think is a deal breaker. Think of windows users who have their browser glued to the screen never to move. Nor do I think its speed is either.
For a non image site or were images are rarely required then definitely but sadly not for my current project were inline images are integral.
Redactor as text editor; great but image wise; no:(

Hi Seoras,
What kind of image options do you want? Borders? Vertical alignment? If
you can give me a list I’ll contact the devs and maybe they can add more
options. It’s worth a try.
Just thought I would mention that PulsePro now ships with Redactor
Looking at it again I’m still not totally convinced by its image management, especially when a site contains lots of images and / or the client has uploaded images to be used, graphics, images and pdf’s etc. Redactor does not allow for organising your images (something that might I suppose be addressed in the future), which KCFinder does well, that would be my main complaint. Second would be the sizing, an indication of size when resizing would be good for consistency, though I do now accept its possibilities for fine tuning. Redactor does not allow you to click and drag an image as you could with KCEditor.
You can always send the Redactor devs an email with your suggestions.
Who knows, they may already be working on the things you want. And if
not they might be willing to add it. Can’t hurt to ask. Most devs
appreciate that sort of constructive feedback.
